Huntsman grew it in South Africa, sold seedlings, and this was
one in particular that people were asking him for in spring
the next year.

(I do like Earl's, though, too. Superior flavor in good weather.)

Maybe a sleeper but yes, a very very good one. And by your linking to it it brought back memories of Tanya Gogosha, a former student, who gave me the seeds as noted in the history of the variety.

I got some truly wonderful varieties from some of the students where I last taught, as well as faculty members

As well as from the head of a local HS English Dept, Andy Durbak, whose wife was an immigration lawyer and she and her husband made arrangements for those immigrating to have housing and help. They had immigrated to the US many years ago themselves. Well I remember the variety Sandul Moldovan b/c the Sandul family had no place for a garden where they were living. I grew it out, saved seeds and when the family moved to a place where they could garden I gave them back, via Andy, some fresh seeds of their family heirloom.
